For the last few days I've been busily at work on the e-book promised in the sidebar of my blog. The book is an attempt to document the 10 most important things that new Internet marketers should know. It hasn't been that long since I was new, and I distinctly remember being bewildered by the enormous amount of information available about making money online. I remember having a hard time even understanding all the words that were being used: squeeze page, WSO, WordPress, search engine optimization, post-slug, etc.
So, this eBook is an attempt to help those who come after me. I'm making some good progress on the eBook, and I'm trying hard to keep it under 20 pages.
I did get completely distracted today by something I discovered (I learned about it on the Internet Business Mastery podcast) called jott.com. jott.com is this really cool voice-recognition transcription and e-mail service available for free. Once you sign up for service with jott.com, you simply dial the toll-free jott number, specify to whom you wish to jott, and leave a message. The jott system then magically transcribes your voicemail and sends an e-mail to the specified person containing the text of your message.
It works surprisingly well. I was amazed.
As an extra bonus, jott supports connections to WordPress, twitter, and a dozen other tools. So, the next time you see a twitter from me in traffic, you can feel good knowing that I am using jot rather than typing and driving.
Best regards, Mark
Looking forward to helping promote your eBook. LOL!!!! Get ‘R dun!!!!
As far as Jott.com goes… man, didn’t you just spend money on software that does the same thing?? Jott, indeed, is awesome! I signed up for it yesterday when ShoeMoney made is little Jott post. I thought to myself what was that and then I realized it was a test post for Jott on his blog. Needless to say, I signed up right away.
Keep up in the loop with the eBook… look forward to covering a small post about it on GCDC. Take care.

Thanks, Garry.
Well, I did purchase Dragon Naturally Speaking, and I am using it on my PC (especially for blogging). It works great.
This is similar software that works on from a phone. So, if you are in the car and need to remember something, you can call Jott and you will end up with an email. Pretty handy. It’s like having a recorder with you all the time that transcribes automatically.
Regards,
Mark
Ahh… yes, big difference between the two. I just validated my phone number and will be giving Jott a try soon. I like the fact that you can link it up with your Twitter account. Now that’s pretty cool.
Hey Mark,
I can’t wait until the new ebook comes out. As Garry said, I’ll do what I can to help you promote it.
I’m going to go check jott.com out.
Tell you what. Instead of you just sending me a free copy, how about we trade. A copy of your book for a full book review on my site. Deal?
@Garry Cool! Glad to hear that you signed up for Jott. that is some really cool technology. As many posts as you crank out every day, I’m surprised you’re ever away from the computer long enough to need something like Jott. LOL
@Christine thanks Christine. I’m trying to write something that I wish I would’ve found when I got started. I don’t expect I’ll win a Pulitzer Prize or anything like that. But, I do want to create something that will help people who are trying to start an Internet business or make money online. I think it’s pretty hard to get started because there’s just so much information out there. Anyway, thanks for the comments. I’ll be sure to send you a free copy of the free e-book. LOL
Great news about the book. I am enjoying your blog very much.
That tool is bloody cool. I don’t use a mobile phone anymore so probably won’t find a use for it right now.
